Sleep is one of the three foundations for health, along with nutrition and exercise. Yet a good night’s sleep can be so elusive
Insufficient sleep can affect your ability to lose or maintain weight, emotions, motivation, and decision-making abilities. Depriving your body of sleep has been linked to many health risks and places a tremendous burden on virtually every organ system in your body.
How to get a good nights sleep
1. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day—even on the weekends.
2. Make sure that the conditions of your bedroom are conducive to sleep. This includes a cool temperature, comfortable mattress, and eliminating noise and light.
3. Avoid screen time before bed. Put your phone, tablet, and laptop away.
4. Exercise during the day.
5. Practice a bedtime ritual. This ritual or routine should help you to relax, unwind, and prepare for sleep. Consider incorporating reading, journaling, or essential oils into your bedtime ritual.
Lavender, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Petitgrain, and Serenity essential oils can create an environment that encourages restorative sleep.
Try using doTERRA Balance, Vetiver, or Cedarwood for restless thoughts.
